There are billions of stars, millions of planets, but there is only one man, Terrance McDoogal. Welcome to LIU Atlas.

About this creation

LIU Atlas - Cunabula

The Ludgonian Industrial Union's galaxy contains billions of stars and billions of planets. Unfortunately, most residents of the LIU could only name a handful of these worlds. In order to improve astronomy grades across the LIU, TV2 has started a new program called LIU Atlas. Follow our host, Terrance McDoogal, as he takes you on a tour across the LIU and some of its more obscure worlds.

Note: This episode is presented in full screen. The corresponding dialogue is underneath each photo.

Onboard the Magellan:
Mike: “Check this out Doog.”
Doog: “What is it?”
Mike: “Well, I was plotting our next destination, and, well, take a look.”
Doog: “Hmm, looks like we’re crossing the through the galaxy’s Omega Arm.”
Mike: “Yep, through the mid-rim as well. It‘s only a few parsecs out of the way.”
Doog: “Do you think Oldie will go for it?”
Mike: “There’s only one way to find out.”
Doog: “OLDIE!”

Oldie: “You don’t have to scream! I’ve told you a hundred times, I haven’t lost my hearing yet.”
Doog: “What are you wearing?”
Oldie: “Huh? You’ll have to speak up.”
Doog: “I said what are you wearing?”
Oldie: “Oh, don’t mind me; it’s laundry day.”
Doog: “I was referring to your suspenders clipped to your underwear.”
Oldie: “Well, why not? I can’t have my underwear falling down. Now why did you call me? I‘m trying to get some rest.”
Doog: “We were wondering if we can make an unscheduled stop. Me and Mike’s homeworld, Cunabula, is only a few parsecs out of the way.”
Oldie: “I don’t know…we don’t really have a lot of time…”
Doog: “My grandma makes the best pony soup…”

Oldie: “Well, let’s get a move on! What are you whippersnappers waiting for!!”

Doog: “Well folks, we’ve decided to make an impromptu stop at the planet Cunabula. Both Mike and I are grew up here. Most of our family has moved away over the years, but my grandma still lives here. We’re hoping to stop in and take advantage of some of her hospitality. It would be nice to eat a home cooked meal.
Cunabula is your average, run of the mill planet. It’s temperate, with forests, grasslands, and a large ocean. The southern hemisphere is dedicated to agriculture, while the northern hemisphere supports light industry. This industry, which manufactures fashion accessories, is based out of the planet’s largest city, Orsa. If there’s a bright center to the galaxy, Cunabula is the place that makes sunglasses for it.”

Doog: “Orsa is a moderately large city with a population around twenty million. Most of the residents here work in the nearby factories. It’s an older city, but still has a lot of charm.”

Doog: “We’re currently in the residential district where tightly packed apartment complexes dominate the city. This one straight ahead, is my grandma’s place.”
Mike: “Man, I miss this place. Your grandma’s house was like my second home.”
Doog: “Me too. My grandma practically raised me. We spent a lot of years running around this joint.”

Doog: “Well, we were in the area and had a few hours to burn. We were hoping you’d make some of your famous pony soup.”
Gma: “We? Oh! Look, you brought your whole crew. Hello boys!”
Crew: “Hello!”
Oldie: “Don’t leave us hanging! Are we getting pony soup or not?!”
Gma: “Of course! Come on in.”

Doog: “Quit pushing Oldie! There’s room for everyone!”

Gma: “So, what have you boys been up to?”
Doog: “Oh, the usual. Traveling and making TV.”
Gma: “You’re still doing that?”
Doog: “Yes, haven’t you been watching?”
Gma: “Sorry hun, LIU Atlas is on the same time as my soaps…”

Gma: “Alright, are you boys ready for some soup?”
Oldie: “Just leave the pot over here!”

Twenty Minutes Later…
Gma: “Wow, you guys must have been hungry. And you did the dishes too!”
Mike: “You might want to rewash those.”
Doog: “Yeah, we didn’t technically wash them. Oldie just licked them clean.”
Oldie: “Mmmm!”
Gma: “Well, if you have a few minutes, I got out some old pictures of Doog.”
Doog: “Uh, I’m not sure..”
Mike: “We have plenty of time!”
Cam: “This is going to be good!”

Cam: “Haha. What’s this one?”
Gma: “Ooh, that’s when Doog won a medal in first grade.”
Oldie: “Doog won a medal? Surely not for athletics.”
Mike: “And certainly not for academics.”
Gma: “Nope. He got it for keeping his pants on for an entire day at school. It was the first time since he started. And, as a matter of fact, it was the last time he accomplished that until he got to sixth grade.”
Crew: “Hahaha!”

Oldie: “Look at this one!”
Gma: “Ah, Doog’s first photo line-up at the local police station. Stealing prescription drugs from his principal. My Terrance, he was such a spirited little boy.”
Doog: “Hey, I was framed for that one!”

Doog: “Well, look at the time. We really need to get going.”
Gma: “Ah, that’s a shame. You should see his high school years.”
Doog: “No!”

Doog: “It was good to see you again grandma. Thanks for the food…and the endless amount of shame you have brought me.”
Crew: “Yeah, thanks Doog’s grandma!”
Gma: “Anytime boys. Come back and see me sometime.”
Doog: “Well folks, I’m a little embarrassed, but it was worth it. Nothing beats grandma’s cooking! See ya next time!”

Note:
Oldie: “Hey, you know, I’ve been looking for a nice young woman like yourself. A nice young woman who makes pony soup like that.”
Doog: “Stay away from my grandma Oldie!”

5 years ago today the first LIU Atlas episode aired, it's been an incredible run thus far and it just keeps picking up steam. Great to see another Doog family episode, and of course some of those old photos... Hilarious, well built, and very well presented. Kudos!

lol, I was sure you d use the collection s grand ma, but, you surprised me in using the blond hair, wich fits also very well, Oldie trying a pass at grand ma was a nice touch, lol, the fig face of grand ma was very well picked too, cool episode!

What a coincidence! I got a medal for that same thing just last week at work! I agree that this one was a bit short but I have to say, sometimes it's nice to just have a quicky without all the foreplay... wait, am I still talking about the episode or did I just channel Doog again? ~ Chris.
